[The Wisdom of a Distracted Mind] You're Doing it Wrong... Again!

Now, here's a story that really does annoy me.

WOODINVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Four large model homes are burning at a multimillion-dollar development in a suburb north of Seattle. An official says a sign found at the scene had the initials of the Earth Liberation Front.

Fire official Rick Eastman says the blazes are suspicious because they were set in multiple places in separate houses. No injuries have been reported.

Eastman says a sign reading ELF was left at the scene of the fires north of Woodinville. He says some of the houses were still under construction.

The ELF or Earth Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for other arsons in the Northwest. A woman is on trial in Tacoma for one of those fires that was at the University of Washington in 2001.

I wonder if the folks at the comically titled People's Front of Judea Judean People's Front Earth Liberation Front realize that not only does torching these "McMansions" release an unhealthy dose of carcinogens into the environment, but also, more trees, more resources and more land-raping will be required to overcome whatever little setback their resident arson creates.

So, rather than taking steps to actually solve the problem, all they're doing is contributing to it.

In light of that and the impending results of their ridiculously misguided terrorism, I have to ask, does the Earth Liberation Front really care about the planet, or are they just looking to make things worse for the environment?

Personally, even though I'm not a fan of these over-sized, opulent houses, I would still much rather have someone living peacefully in one than to see it burned down and replaced time and time again.

Oh well... Hopefully they'll catch the people behind this little act, and I really hope they make an example of them for once.
